Baylor and DJ Lagway Run Away from Arizona State
Four touchdown passes and a rushing score from DJ Lagway, and Baylor won 55-19 at Arizona State. The Bears needed three quarters to get it all done.
Arizona State did get the first points, a 46-yard Carson Smith field goal. Then Ryelan Morris ran 63 yards for a touchdown on the very next score, and Baylor never trailed again. Lagway threw to Tony Livingston from 3 yards and Louis Brown IV from 10, and it was 21-3 early in the second quarter. Arizona State pulled to 21-13 with a 30-yard Cutter Boley touchdown pass to Omarion Miller, but Rhett Armstrong kicked a field goal on the final play of the half and it was 24-13.
The third quarter decided it. Baylor scored 21 points, on Lagway touchdown passes of 3 yards to Hawkins Polley and 8 yards to Jadon Porter and a 75-yard Caden Knighten run, while Arizona State got a field goal. Entering the fourth it was 45-16, and everything after that was bookkeeping.
The numbers are lopsided. Baylor had 564 total yards to 409, including 244 rushing, with the two long runs of 63 and 75 yards doing a lot of that. Baylor did not turn the ball over, while Arizona State threw one interception and lost two fumbles. Smith kicked four field goals, which is a lot of field goals for a team that lost by 36.
Baylor is 4-1. Arizona State is 2-2.
Fantasy owners had Lagway at 41.8 points. Omarion Miller (20.0) and Reed Harris (19.5) led the losing side.
